Deployment

Here's a list of steps to be followed for deploying an app to heroku:

Run pipenv lock to generate the appropriate Pipfile.lock $ pipenv lock
Then create a Procfile which tells Heroku how to run the remote server where our code will live. $ touch Procfile
For now we’re telling Heroku to use gunicorn as our production server and look in our .wsgi file for further instructions. Update Procfile with - web: gunicorn <project_name>.wsgi --log-file -
Next install gunicorn which we’ll use in production while still using Django’s internal server for local development use. $ pipenv install gunicorn==19.9.0
Finally update ALLOWED_HOSTS with '*' in settings.py file.
push the updates to the GitHub repository.
Login to heroku. $ heroku login
Create a new heroku app. $ heroku create <app_name>
Set git to use the name of your new app when you push to Heroku. $ heroku git:remote -a <app_name>
If there are no static files run $ heroku config:set DISABLE_COLLECTSTATIC=1
Push the code to Heroku. $ git push heroku master
Add free scaling so the app is actually running online. $ heroku ps:scale web=1
